ALENTINE'S DAY!
how i hated valentines day while i was single...candy and cookies to make you fat and a real sense of loneliness that you didn't have a date. being married on valentines day is the bestest! specially when you happen to not work and your husband doesnt' work either!
the bad part to all this is that i am my father when it comes to gifts creativity and tasks! sorry dad but it's not a complement! i totally stink at thinking of creative things. i'd rather have danny shop with me for me to get him a gift so then i'll know that he'll like it or i'm so excited that i got a present, that i'll want to give it to him right now. i show my love with hugs and kissess and telling danny that i love him like a hundred times a day...ok maybe not a hundred but diffenetly at least 3 texts throughout the day (that's just text messages, not verbal). the worst part about all this is that danny show's his love with tasks and gifts. he'll clean the house or buy me a book to read, or be super creative. so to sum up our languages of love, i'm touchy and verbally lovey, and danny is gifts and tasks....i'd like tons of loving, and danny'd like visual expresions of love like gifts, cards, or tasks. this means that i stink at showing my love to danny!
i search the internet for ideas of gifts or ask my mom what i should do. something cheap...is my mom's suggustion. so what to do! i was kindof proud of myself! i went to the store on valentines day (while danny was at work) and i bought a music card, wrote sweet words on it, and then made betty crocker sugar cookies with frosting bc i know how much danny loves cookies (not homemade bc i was running out of time). i also got a cheap movie (don't worry danny knows how much i got it for). it was Footloose (filmed in payson, utah, Danny's hometown and my new hometown!)
danny got me 3 roses, representing our 3 valentines together. one yellow, for when we were just starting to date (which he brought me a yellow rose that first valentines day as well,) and then 2 red roses for last year and this year. he also gave me a big chocolate kiss and balloons. he then banged on the door and had me open it to see the surprise while danny was hidding. he also wrote a great love letter which totally means a lot due to the fact that i like hearing how much he likes me!(told ya danny was much more of a thinker inregards to gifts.)
then we made sushi and wontons, which we've done before. i, however, made it with the wrong rice and the rice didnt' stick and the sushi was very messy...but it was good and fun!
then we decided to go to the place that we had gone to the first valentine's we spent together. pudding on rice. it is located in provo and serves rice pudding of all different flavors. i think last time i got 1/2 almaratto and 1/2 rum (i think). so we drove up there (20 min drive) and it was closed! like permamently closed. like it closed down. so so sad. then we decide to go to a place by our old apartment which had italian ice! yum! don't worry, this place was closed down too! darn economy! we ended up going to A&W and got rootbeer floats.
the rest of the night does not need to be written.
on another fun day, we went to jamie and ashley (my bro in law and sis in law) house. they live in spring city (by manti). along with us there was my other bro in law and sis in law-aubrey and nathan, our good friend Rick, and ashley's bro and sis in law- brye and adam and my other sister in law Bailey. we made indian/curry food! it was so fun! i happened to make (by volunteer) a cocunut chicken curry with rice, a veggie cocunut cury with rice, naan bread, and the best ever chocolate cake, plus we brought ice cream. jamie and aubrey made more authentic indian food which was super good...i don't remember the names of them--samosos and then...a ciniman curry rice. long story short i had a blast and it was so fun and i think we need to start making it a tradition. next month possibly mexian/argentine meals. i also was pretty excited for myself that i made this all and didn't get too stressed out!
this is becoming a long post!
along with all that has happened this past week--
-i started school on tues--my last semester!

You and Danny are adorable! When Josh and I come out this summer we'd love to see your house and all the work you've put in.
You were pretty darn close to guessing my pee - it was about 2100ml. I think I've managed to keep my diagnosis as gestational hypertension as opposed to preeclampsia. And, we don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but we'll keep you posted!
I get to see your fam today - I'm especially excited because your mom is bringing us some cake!
Hi guys. How fun to read about your v-day celebrations and your latest happenings. We want to come see your house. After this week our schedule is going to open up a bit, but I know you're busy with school. Let us know if you can get together.
Awesome! Sounds like a great V' Day! And, wow, y'all have lots of exciting things coming up! So happy for you being so happy!
this is Jamie. You forgot about Bailey at our dinner...she'll be so sad. It was so great wasn't it. I Had a lot of fun! Oh and rice pudding? No wonder it went out of business. That's not the economy, just capitalism. : )
I'll admit, I am with Jamie, rice putdding, seriously? Was that all they sold? Anyway, Sounds like a great V-day. I have the same issues. I still haven't figured out exactly how to speak Dan's love languages. He insists that I always do good, but I think he is just nicer than me (who tells him when he messes up). Anyway, I can't wait to see the house. Good job on doing the work yourselves. You will be grateful.
